FreeBSD nic enumeration on Dell hardware

Hi all,

on newer Dell hardware, like the 1955, the nic's are not enumerated  
right.
Physical port 1 becomes em0, and physical port 2 becomes em0.
On systems with 4 nics stuff even becomes more confusing.

I found some solutions for Linux (see http://linux.dell.com/files/ 
whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v3.pdf)
but not for FreeBSD. Could someone enlighten me please?

thanks

	Patrick
